Too Late Love Comes

my home has been a warrior field
where now and then I've seen
a rainbow rising over the graves
down in the gentle green
and as I waltzed across the mine
time sped to breathlessly
as I fought for love
and I sang for love
too late, love comes to me

I saw you coming over the hill
So strong, so brave, so true
I fell down to my knees and cried
The way I used to do
It came at such surprise to me
I thought those tears had passed
Is it god who laughs this heart awake?
Too late, love comes at last

O lovers how they come and go
Like waves upon the shore
Brave hearts can drown in the briny deep
And still cry out for more
My treasure's in the water now
My pearls are lost at sea
And my heart must bend like a rainbow
Too late, you've come to me
